Re: OrCAD PSPICE trouble

Hello,

I'm new to PSPICE and it seems I need a little help. I have OrCAD 10.
I'm trying to simply put a resistor in series with a capacitor and
connect a 10V power supply (VDC). I set a voltage tester between the
resistor and capacitor and when I run a transient alanysis, I get a
straight line at 10V. No matter what time values, no matter what
values I use for the resistor and capacitor, I ALWAYS get a straight
line.

I changed the VDC to a VSTIM and set up a square wave. Sure enough, on
each pulse, I see a curved rise and a curved fall. Why don't I see a
curved rise at the start of the simulation with VDC?? I don't want to
use a square wave generator, I just want a simple voltage source like a
battery. What is going on??

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

(1) If you want to observe a transient response you HAVE TO USE a
transient source.

(2) Use VPULSE
